Abstract:
Ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage is useful in the diagnosis and treatment of intra-abdominal abscesses. The indication depends on the localisation and cause of the abscess. Keeping the indications, we treated 62 patients with ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage and recorded a primary success of 90% and no severe complications such as bleeding or bowel perforation.
